Hey, I've just recieved JTL in my mailbox.
I've been trying to think of which pilot I should be.
I'm imperial as is, (Coronel)
I've narrowed myself down to 2 chocies for pilot. Freelance or Imperial...
I can't decide which one I should be.
Freelance get the YT-1300, and i've ALWAYS wanted to pilot and upgrade it.
They also get some cool looking ships and the Pirate Trap and Energy Blast.
Plus, most of the ships (I THINK) come with shielding.
Imperials get the Decimator, and that thing is a behimoth, and it looks fearsome. Also want to pilot it but.... its not the YT-1300
In the beginning though, they get some crap ships.... come on.... you have to wait till your lvl 3 of the ship branch to use something else besides a tie fighter....
They also get bomber strikes, nebula blasts, andthey get to tune their weapons/engines. Thats always good.
Now, i dont know which side to pick. Imperials have some very useful skills but its slow in the beginning. And Freelance dosent have really any exciting skills to use, but they have my favorite ship in the entire game.
I'm trying to look atthe big picture here. I can't decide which Pilot Profession to be. Any suggestions would be helpful.
(If my thoughts seem out of order when you read this, it is 1 am and i haven't slept in 2 days. My thoughts are out of order and i'm typing them as i think of them. So, please try to make sense out of what I just typed because its a delimma that is haunting me and I can't properly play JTL without picking a pilot prof. Thank you.)

What I'm hearing you say is this...
On one hand, you can fly this ship that you think is really cool. On the other hand, there's all this cool stuff to do and things I like. Which hand do I chose?
Looks to me like you already know which one you should pick.

Didn't Pikemen have this problem a while back? On one hand we *look* really cool, on the other... we suck.
Cool/suck
Cool/suck
Cool/suck
Cool...
I like being a Pikeman. 
In answer to the *other* question though.. go Imp, have fun with it.. if you don't like it... go Freelance!
